replaying on pc, how can I use my 360 or PS3 controller?

I suck at kb/mouse for this game and would do so much better if I could use a controller. How could I set this up?

You'll need a wired 360 controller which you can get at probably any gaming store. Just make sure it's wired before you buy it.

This^. Playing Arkham City with a 360 controller (which I highly recommend) makes playing much more enjoyable. You can buy any wired 360 controller and it will work with your PC. Depending on your harware you may or may not need to download the right soft wares to enable the controller. BUt generally most Windows recognize the 360 controller, it is after all a Microsoft product.

Before you use the controller you'll need to install the driver software first. If you bought an Xbox 360 Controller for Windows package, the driver will be included in the CD that comes in the package. If you've just got a controller, the driver software is available for download at microsoft.com.

After plugging in the controller, hit the Xbox home button to make sure it is recognized. If done right, pressing the Xbox Home button should bring up a small Xbox-style box with the words "Click for help".

Make sure the controller is running properly before launching the game.

If you are trying to use a wireless Xbox 360 controller, you'll need to buy a wireless receiver for it first. These are sold as parts of a package and as standalone products.

PS3 controllers are not supported by PC at this point.

PS3 controller do work for PC you just need the right plug in. I have a friend whose using the PS3 for his PC game, just just uses a driver.

Those all involve homebrew hacks and tweaks. To be clear, as of now PS3 controllers for PC are not officially supported by either Sony nor Microsoft.

It was an official software. You don't need hacks to do simple things

And where might I download this official non-third-party software that allows me to use a PS3 controller with a PC? Please, enlighten all of us.

EDIT: Go on, take your time, I can wait. Not sure about the others though...

EDIT: That was a nice smile you had there, surely you were smiling because you had information I didn't, right?

EDIT: Don't care to share...? That's not the way to treat a community...

EDIT: There will be one additional line for every 10 minutes BatmanInc doesn't answer! Quiver in fear!

EDIT: No snappy comeback? I'm starting to think this official software might be a lie!

EDIT: C'mon Inc, I know you're still there...

EDIT: What's wrong, too scared to post? I always knew you were chicken! (thug quote, lol!)

Thanks guys. I own both PS3 and 360 but I have only touched my 360 like twice in the past few years. I have 2 wireless controllers so I'll just find out where I can get the receiver to play it.

One of the main things I found hard with kb/mouse is during combat I couldn't use my gadgets!
